Hope I'm not tempting fate, but if we get Ferdi and Rutter, Tony will have spanked about 100M in a week. Obviously he's calculated to 10 decimal places and planned it out over many years, but that must still give even a billionaire a bit of a light headed, tummy fluttering moment. I'm trying to equate it to my frame of reference. As a percentage of his net worth that he's just shelled out, is it like us mere mortals buying a fancy car? A holiday house?
[Albion] What's your equivalent of spending £100m in a week?

My divorce
It's less than the Caicedo money. It's the equivalent of me selling bicycle for 115€ and buying a replacement plus one for my partner and another for guests for 100€.

Driving up to Chester today, on a Friday afternoon, SPLASHING £9.00 on the M6 toll rather than sit in spaghetti with a load of Brummies.

Player sales also have to cover running costs, it's not free disposable income. It's more similar to selling your car for £2,000 and then paying £1,200 in mortgage payments and then buying another car for £1,800. There's still a big outgoing on cash at that point.
A massive bag of food. God it would be beautiful. Most days the last year I've literally only eaten 400g of peanuts a day and when I don't, I only eat pasta and pesto. The thought of having HUNDREDS of ingredients almost brings tears to my eyes.
In slightly richer times it would have felt like buying... a printer? Generally useful thing you normally don't want to spend money on.

Compared to my income, I'd guess £100m to Bloom is about 50p for me.
So... last time I bought a Marathon bar?

You're right. For my analogy to work, I also need to factor in the wages for my bike mechanics amortised over the length of the contracts. Not to mention, the TV deal covering my rides down to the beach.

Not today buddy, if The Lizard can spunk a load of cash then so can I.
Me and the Mrs were like Thelma & Louise at that fork in the highway.
Happens to me with Indian takeaways too.
You do know you can buy things that DON’T begin with the letter P, don’t you?
Clearly you've never been in a Swedish supermarket.
It's just wall to wall p.
